OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hi im cashea.. i think there is soo much we have in common a bout joining the navy. I to am very scared and nervous a bout joining even though I know its what I want to do. I really want to be a nurse and I know you have to take the asvab test and try to score your highest on it.. to get better job opportunities. So ive been really studying on that. especially the math portion since im really not that good at it. I was wondering if you taken the test already and if so do you think it was pretty easy or difficult..? just really currious on how its going to be.
